It takes a trivial bit of time and research to understand the CentOS project guideline of binary compatibility to the Upstream Vendor. To any technical enough to have such a discussion it should be immediately apparent that 'working with CentOS to deal with bugs for drivers etc' is a pretty pointless statement... and the correct effort is upstream with Redhat. Should LSI spend the time with Redhat - as they should already be doing quite frankly if they want to be relevant in the linux world - then it assists CentOS automatically. To be asked to be forwarded to the appropriate forum with zero apparent research in insulting on their part. The redirection requested was given - and now it is up to LSI to work with Redhat for anything they want certified.
